Problem overview

Some BMW X5 owners report experiencing issues with the overhead area, such as malfunctioning lights, non-responsive controls, and problems with storage compartments. These concerns often prompt owners to check related fuses, and if issues persist, they may need to inspect wiring, switches, or individual components for visible damage. Additionally, some owners face throttle body problems, including rough idling, poor acceleration, or engine stalling, which can indicate underlying throttle body issues. While cleaning the throttle body may resolve minor performance problems, some owners find that replacement is necessary, with costs averaging around $203. It is advisable for owners to consult a certified BMW mechanic for thorough inspections and repairs to ensure optimal performance and longevity of their vehicles.
